Bus stopped under crossing arm at Fallowfield Road, city says

OC Transpo is investigating after a bus with six passengers didn't stop until it had passed the Fallowfield Road rail crossing arm shortly before a train passed by.

The incident happened Thursday at 1:30 p.m. as a bus approached the Fallowfield Rail crossing, according to a memo sent to city councillors by OC Transpo head John Manconi.

The traffic light turned amber and the bus driver braked but the bus didn't come to a stop until it was beyond the painted stop bar "in the area between the rail crossing arm and the rail track," Manconi wrote.
